Please. I like Honda cars but that thing they build is not a full size
truck.


Well I bought a Ridgeline a few months and 7000 miles ago. While it isn't as
big as a full size Ford or Chevy it has LOTS of hauling room in the bed that
I get to use fully because I don't have to put a tool box in the back. The
reason I don't have to put in a tool box is because it has a lockable trunk
that I could hide a 250 body in. This trunk also has a drain and is somewhat
insulated so last 4th of July I filled it with ice and beer.

The thing rides like a luxury car and the back seats are real seats instead
of the padded rear wall that most 4 5 passenger trucks have.

So sure it can't pull more than 4000 pounds. I can live with that.
